Team Moody Rocks the Trail

Wow what a great weekend....The entire family rocked the Mckeilson Bike Trail all 108 miles of it....Dylan was a real champ and handled the trail like a old pro.....he also gathered lots of fans along the way....Everyone knew Dylan by name and was impressed with our whole family and how we made it thru the entire trail.....Dylan did awesome...no crying....he really enjoyed himself and was truly apart of the team....Collin did way awesome since he had to trailer Dylan thru the whole trail........I did really well and was impressed with how strong I felt during the entire trek.....I did have problems with my asthma the first 5 or 6 miles or so the first day it was very humid and the thick air triggered some tough breathing but otherwise made it thru the entire trip with really no aches or pains worthy of mentioning......let me also just make it very clear that this 108 miles isn't necessarily a easy 108 miles ....Collin's good friend John who also came on the trip with his family commented after the first day that the trail was alot tougher than he thought it would be.....John finished the trail but his wife and children aborted the trail due to illness on the second day....there are 4 stretches varying from 16 miles to 7 miles that are continuous uphill stretches with no down hill breaks along the trail......somewhere around 50 miles or so uphill riding.....its the long stretches of uphill riding in the middle of the day with 90 degree weather beating down on you that begins to take it's toll on the mind and the body.....it truly is a great challenge for the mind and body....and am so proud that our entire family stuck together and stuck it out and had a great time doing it..........
